Designing Your Own Custom Printed T-Shirt: 4 Options To Ponder

Kenzi Alvarez

Custom printed T-shirts are a smart way to promote your business or cause, or simply display your group or organization's name and logo. If you are going to commission a custom printed T-shirt, you'll need to consider the various options available to you. Many companies that design custom printed apparel will have a design tool available on their ordering website, from which you can create your shirt as you envision it. While you'll probably know the size and background color for your custom T-shirt, consider these other key steps to create your perfect shirt:

1. Decide What Wording to Choose for Your Shirt

You will most likely have the option of adding your own text for your custom designed T-shirt. Maybe it will be a phrase or saying or your business name. Get creative and choose words that make a statement. Keep in mind that the more letters your text has, the smaller the text may be to accommodate it. 

2. Choose the Color and Font of the Text

If your T-shirt background is a light or pale color, you'll probably want the text to have a high contrasting color to make it stand out. Conversely, if the background is black or very dark, it's best to choose a text color that is either white or of a light color.

You'll most likely have several font designs to choose from. The font refers to the printable text style and size. Basically, the font you choose will be a personal preference. You may choose from a variety of font styles, such as scripted, bold, Italic, and artsy styles. Before you make your final decision, a virtual online design tool will display how it will look.

3. Determine If You Would Like to Add Sleeve Printing or Printing on the Back of the Shirt

Printing along the sleeve or sleeves of your custom printed T-shirt may add further imprint. The same applies to printing on the back of the shirt as well. There may be an additional charge for these extras.

4. Will You Choose Your Art From Various Layouts or Upload Your Own Logo or Design?

Most custom printing companies offer a variety of artwork or templates to choose from when designing a custom made T-shirt. For instance, they may have a wide array of shapes, symbols, letters, and various categories of which to choose from. Choose from animal and nature designs, events, sports, music and entertainment, charities, food, military, and more. If you'd rather incorporate your own design, you may upload it from a computer file.

You may have other options to choose from when designing your own custom printed apparel, so inquire about your choices when ordering.
